Network Setup
You can set up your TV so that it
can access the Internet through your
local area network (LAN) using a
wired or wireless connection.
Connecting to a Wired Network
You can attach your TV to your LAN
using cable in three ways:
• Connecting the LAN port on the
back of your TV to an external
modem using a Cat 5 cable.
• Connecting the LAN port on the
back of your TV to an IP Sharer
which is connected to an external modem using a Cat 5 cable.
• Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to
connect your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of
your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a Cat 5 cable. Note that the
wall outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.
If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router
that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet
so you don’t have to enter them manually.
Most home networks are Dynamic Networks. Some networks require a Static
IP address.
If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup
Screen when you set up the network connection.
To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer, you can also
get these values through your computer.
Internet connection: Turn on/off connecting to the Internet. Selects On to
adjust the options below.
